Anesthesia Awareness Campaign:
Anesthesia Awareness (Unintended intra-operative awareness)- Anesthesia Awareness is the state of being mentally aware during a procedure while still being under full general anesthesia. The patient is completely paralyzed and unable to communicate with anyone and to tell them that they can feel the pain and agony of the surgery. (The patient would feel 42% of the pain)
The mission of the Anesthesia Awareness Campaign is to prevent a patient from having the experience anesthesia awareness and its consequences.
Awareness falls in the ratio of about 20,000-40,000:20,000,000
